Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Mortal Realm, Asgard.

At the center of the interface, there stands a mountain peak formed purely by the Power of Faith.

Standing at the summit of this mountain, which greatly resembles Olympus, one can overlook the land and see the illusionary kingdoms, divided and enveloped by various Divine Powers.

Only the most devout believers of All Gods can come here after death, and then offer up all that remains of themselves to the entity they worshipped.

Bathed in this boundless faith, Zeus raises his hand, as if holding the entire world within his grasp.

In a single breath, the millennia of faith accumulated by the fourth generation of humanity surges like a tide. Amidst the illusory lights and shadows, twelve celestial pillars momentarily become visible. Under their collective embrace, the figure of Zeus appears sacred.

Athena, Aphrodite, Demeter, Hestia, Moanda.

Hephaestus, Ares, Ares, Apollo, Zephyrus.

Five male gods, five female gods, each seeming to lack one member.

However, the missing Poseidon from the former has already been prepared by the Divine King; the vacancy will not last long.

Although the latter seems to lack an actual candidate, in reality, Zeus had already filled this position early on.

Thus, even though no second person knows this matter, and Zeus plans to select an upright and authoritative deity to occupy this twelfth Principal God position before actually doing anything, this does not change the fact that the twelve pillars have long been perfected.

Thus, long ago, the King's Ceremony personally cast by the Divine King was already a complete edition. It's just that the Divine King still searches for candidates for the Principal God, even keeping a spot open to add someone at any time.

"...After all, even the Principal God can waver..."

"Perhaps actively, or perhaps passively, just like Poseidon."

"Therefore, whether it's searching or creating, twelve powerful Divine Powers closely associated with me, none can be absent."

Six males and six females, corresponding to the once Twelve Titans, are also one of the hidden clauses of this ceremony.

Musing to himself, Zeus had once been very troubled by this. But as millennia passed, he wasn't just about seeking pleasure in the mortal world.

As of now, even if the position of Principal God differs, the Divine King can replace it with a candidate at any time, and not just one but multiple can serve.

Underneath the vast Power of Faith accumulated over millennia in Asgard, even a pig, if it is a naturally-born deity, Zeus could still transform it into an omnipotent deity of a million pigs.

Zephyrus is an example, the emergence of faith completely disrupted the intrinsic order of strengths and weaknesses of deities... and such authority to dictate life and death is precisely what he has always sought.

Of course, it would be even better if this world had no Spirit Realm, no Land of No Light, no Land of Eternal Night, no gods daring to defy him.

So Zeus has come here today for this very goal he has always pursued.

The Abyss, the most fearsome yet harmless Primordial God of this era. Since its birth, it has quietly existed, never causing the slightest trouble to any of the past Divine Kings; rather, it has been their shared prison.

Even originally, the trajectory of Tartarus was mostly deemed as the Father God of Typhon, but the current Divine King really can't find a reason that it poses a threat to himself.

Especially after recently receiving a message sent by his avatar from within, which greatly delighted the Divine King.

An unexpected experience, gaining a Divine Artifact and Origin. Although the avatar used a part of the Origin, still, a lot was left.

Moreover, the primary purpose of this visit was very well completed by the avatar; it successfully found the existence corresponding to Zeus's prophetic senses—an entity capable of mobilizing the Power of the Abyss, the Mother of Demons revered by billions, deemed a great entity.

If the former is icing on the cake, then the latter, even if not help in the nick of time, is a massive force capable of influencing global dynamics.

Especially since the message informed Zeus that this Mother of Demons could potentially be his natural ally, the sixth wife in a sense.

This left Zeus regretting that he hadn't taken action sooner, yet he couldn't help but exclaim that it still wasn't too late.

He never imagined that even today, he could still gain support in this way.

"...Perhaps this is the divine destiny that the Divine King possesses..."

"This is the duty I was born to fulfill; as for the benefits it brings, they are merely a modest reward given by 'destiny' to its executor."

With a chuckle, the Divine King's mood at this moment was very good.

However, he did not completely relax but kept his spirit constantly taut.

According to the description provided by the previous information, it wouldn't be long before his incarnation would meet the Mother of Demons in person, and she would open a 'live broadcast' of a spiritual domain for him, which is specifically why Zeus came to Asgard.

After all, an incarnation is still an incarnation; it underestimated the isolating capabilities of Tartarus, resulting in the delay of the previous transmission that Zeus received.

Compared to the Mortal Realm, it is less likely here to conflict with the laws of the Abyss... Hence, Zeus waits silently, expectant yet unhurried.

Time slowly passes, it's unknown how much time has gone by.

At a certain moment, in the palace at the central mountain of Asgard, a hint of joy flickers in the eyes of the Divine King.

From the void beyond this realm, a 'will interface' similar to the previous one but clearer is approaching his location.

With a thought, an immense will immediately unfolds and merges with the pursuing thought.

In an instant, the sensory perceptions of the incarnation's spiritual domain and Zeus's actual body 'synchronized'. However, perhaps due to the differences in space-time between the two realms, there is still a slight 'delay,' and the first thing that enters the Divine King's mind is not the incarnation's observations, but a 'letter' that followed.

With a slightly raised eyebrow, Zeus calmly opens this 'letter' that exists only in his consciousness.

Although he could comprehend it with a single thought, it is precisely in facing such a significant matter that the Divine King needs to remain calm and composed.

"Hmm... a very 'special' appearance, doesn't seem real. Let me see if there's any interference with her will. If there is, then break the connection."

"But what kind of 'special' is this... The incarnation didn't say, so in its... 'my' view, this special should be something I can recognize at a glance."

"'I' didn't specifically describe this special, probably for fear of interception during the transmission of information, especially since it faces a powerful deity from the Abyss directly. So if I can't recognize what's 'special' about the appearance of the Mother of Demons at a glance, that would indeed be a problem."

With a calm expression, while dozens of speculations flash through his mind and then dismiss them one by one.

Zeus slightly shakes his head, feeling there's no need to rush.

No matter how special it may be, just tackle it as it comes. Moreover, if it's truly unusual, that in itself proves that what his incarnation saw was real.

So, he casually takes a cup of wine brewed by Dionysus and savors it finely. He refocuses on the 'signal' from the Abyss, waiting for the 'delay' to end.

A moment, two moments, three moments... He didn't wait too long, only half a glass of wine had been drunk when the originally empty mind started to change.

The unclear becomes gradually clearer, and the first thing that catches his eye is a pair of eyes brimming with intense emotions and affection.

And just from one look, Zeus, the master of emotions, discerns a myriad of thoughts in them.

The owner of these eyes must admire him immensely; it's just that she dares not express it.

She is both inferior and proud, just like those princesses from the small nations of the Mortal Realm when they discover his divine identity.

Ha, what special feature, it turns out to be just this...

Subconsciously feeling he understood the incarnation's thoughts, his originally taut spirit slightly relaxed.
